She proceeded to tell him that it was the church that decided when deacons retired and not the preacher. <br /><br />Two days later, I was informed that I’d not be ‘forced’ to retire at the age of 80. I may owe her thanks and she’s not even a Baptists.Rex Rayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06976501582240117188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28605099.post-78351889084137872952012-02-25T19:28:35.243-06:002012-02-25T19:28:35.243-06:00Deb,

You have made some excellent points that need to be broadcast around the world. We intend to do just that because we are blessed to have people in Canada, Great Britain, Africa, and Australia, not to mention many Americans reading what two middle-aged Christian women have to say.<br /><br />I wish with all my heart that more pastors were like you and your son Wade, and I hope I have the opportunity to meet you someday.<br /><br />Our 2.26.12 EChurch@Wartburg post is now online, and it features a terrific sermon! :-)<br /><br />Blessings!Wanda (Deb) Martinhttp://www.thewartburgwatch.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28605099.post-36649688944046322902012-02-25T14:38:00.228-06:002012-02-25T14:38:00.228-06:00All,

I'm honored for a reading of it much less a desire to share it with others. <br /><br />Your comments are part of what makes this so much fun for me.

That, my friend, is good stuff.<br /><br /><br />All,<br /><br />I'm aware it is "since" instead of "sense" and so I've corrected it to make some "since" of it all.

My anticipation after reading the first of ...Paul,<br /><br />My anticipation after reading the first of these articles is well rewarded.<br /><br />The ill-considered foolishness of the claims of "feminization" were illustrated to me a few years ago when a woman was nominated to join the diaconate of a local Baptist church.<br /><br />I was asked to come, as a visiting speaker, to the church. The subject they asked me to address was, and I quote,"Why Women Cannot be Deacons".<br /><br />My first words, as I remember them,were, "You'll be very interested to know that I cannot find one bit of evidence that women cannot be deacons".<br /><br />The foolishness of the "feminization" thinking is illustrated in the decision the church made. They decided that she could do the duties of deacon,and attend deacons meetings, but had to have a different appellation.<br />She was to be "The Servant of Women", but not a deacon! Huh??<br /><br />Paul! Stop laughing! This is serious stuff!Aussie Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16199918171163666399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28605099.post-45063098778870402772012-02-24T11:34:07.619-06:002012-02-24T11:34:07.619-06:00Me thinks you are correct sir!Me thinks you are correct sir!Rodney Sprayberryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00354264158831825334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28605099.post-58168543198259337992012-02-24T11:20:07.145-06:002012-02-24T11:20:07.145-06:00Rodney,

Matt 23:37 ;)<br /><br />But, sense He's not a "hen," I think it's safe to say the church isn't a woman either.
